Is dead as a dodo.


Mac version of EDDiscovery

Needless to say, you need to enable verbose logging on your ED installation.

At first launch, you should set:

  • your CMDR name
  • your ED log path
  • your EDSM api key

After configuring your data, the application will:

  • fetch all systems with known coordinates from EDSM
  • parse all netlog files and create local jump database
  • fetch your complete jump history form EDSM
  • fetch all your comments from EDSM
  • add to local database any jumps present only on EDSM
  • send to EDSM any jumps present only in the local database

If you have a large number of netlog files, this can take a few minutes. Subsequent launches should be much faster.

At subsequent launches, the application will:

  • fetch new systems from EDSM
  • fetch new comments FROM EDSM
  • parse new jumps from netlog files
  • sync new jumps from / to EDSM

After launch and while it is running, the application will:

  • monitor your netlog files for new jumps in real time
  • add new jumps to your EDSM jump history in real time
  • request system information for new jumps in real time from EDSM

All this is done automatically without user interaction.

UI side, at present you can:

  • switch between different commanders (each will have its own settings and data)
  • add / delete commanders
  • browse your jump history
  • select single jumps and see system information
  • add / edit / remove comments (changes will be synced to EDSM)
  • see submitted distances from other systems (suspicious distances will be marked in red)
  • trilaterate systems by adding distances to system with known coordinates
  • submit distances to EDSM
  • see a 2D map of your travel history, with markers for systems with user notes
  • see a 2D map of your travel history, with markers for systems with user notes
  • configure the screenshots dir for your ED installation

If you choose to configure the screenshots dir, EDDiscovery will:

  • parse the contents and the directory
  • match them against your travel history
  • rename the files in PNG format, using timestamp and system name as file names
  • monitor the directory for changes and manage newly added files accordingly
  • display miniatures of the screenshots from within EDDiscovery
